"Hello, ate!"

At a celebration party with a pizza-like thing made by Tetsujin Fifth and something like fried chicken, I took a quick bath and returned to my room. e? At the party? Everyone ate a delicious meal while being impressed by the intense horse menu that used artificial meat. It was Parisi. No, only one elf was drinking and making noise. My stomach was full, so the elf who was still drinking and making noises left me alone in the bath, leaving two beautiful girls and a talented maid to go with it. Apparently he was more tired mentally and physically than expected in the melee battle. I felt tired late in the party.

"It's hard"

By operating the bedside console, images picked up by optical sensors mounted on various parts of Krishna are displayed on a holo display. What was reflected there was the appearance of the hanger where Krishna was sitting. The Holo Display showed that maintenance personnel and maintenance robots were moving around the hanger without hesitation. We enjoyed the party, but the members of the Earl Daleinwald still seem to be busy with post-processing. It seems that there was a participant in the raid who was inspired by Balthazar from the Komat Star Army, which should have breathed the Countess of Daleinwald, and according to Chris, the Countess Daleinwald and the Comat Star Army went down It seems to be a fuss. That's not related to mercenaries like me! Right now, I'm on standby with Count Daleinwald's flagship, and we're free to do whatever we're waiting for. Of course, it is necessary to be dispatched if there is a dispatch request. After finishing the battlefield, Count Daleinwald and his fleet headed to Komat Prime Colony, the core colony of the Comat star system, to deliver towed ships, treat injured persons, repair damaged ships, etc. It seems to be done. Meanwhile, we were ordered to wait. You've come to your knees, you've caught Balthazar, the mastermind, and are you just thrown out when you're done? I thought it was surprising that Earl Daleinwald was firm. When I was lying down on the bed in a big letter while thinking as such, a chime sounded asking for entry. Perhaps because the door in this room is tight and airtight, you can not hear the sound at all even with a little knock. For that purpose, a chime is installed to call the middle person. Elma is still hitting the door so that it can be heard.

"Good evening," "Oh, okay? Good evening?"

Mimi always sounds the chime, so she opened the door, thinking she had visited her, and found a beautiful black-haired girl. That is Chris. I didn't expect Chris to come, so my style is boxer shorts and a tank top, which is already rough. It is an underwear figure to the body.

"Wait a minute." "Yes. I'm sorry to relax."

As expected, I would wear underwear alone, so I would like to wear underwear. Chris gently shifted his gaze to the side, taking care of me. I'm sorry.

"Um, what happened?" "I don't have any particular errands ... I just want to talk with them." "I see."

For obvious reasons, it's not a refusal. I led Chris to the chair and table, which were set a bit off the bed. I can't go without letting a noble lady sit on a man's bed. In that sense, welcoming her to the man's room seems out of her own.

"Bad, there's no tea or anything sensible ... Is this OK?" "Yes"

Chris nodded, and I placed a drink from the stationary refrigerator on the table with a non-carbonated black sugar watered drink. Well, it's a bit unsatisfactory, but it doesn't get in the way.

"Well, what are you doing? Thank you again. It's okay to say that the crisis is gone." "Yes, thank you. My grandfather also praised Hiro." Is it? "

That old man, when he meets me, always has a deep wrinkle in his eyebrows and looks sick. Well, do you mean that my power as a mercenary is recognized?

"Yes. She said she looked sullen, but she was sure of her arm." "Yes, I don't feel bad."

I noticed here, I lifted my hips from the chair and took out a necklace decorated with lilac jewelry from the closet beside the bed. It was in my favorite jacket pocket.

"It's time to return this." "It's ..."

Chris looks at the glowing necklace in my hand. The expression was lonely or sad.

"I would still like to work as a knight to protect Chris a little more, but I have received the reward from Earl Daleinwald for protecting Chris, and I think this is the time to return this necklace. Is it important? "" ... Yes. "

When I presented the necklace, Chris took it straight and squeezed it with her little hand. After seeing it, I sit down again and sit in front of Chris.

"Ah, I ..." "Yeah" "I, Hiro-sama ... I long for Hiro-sama."

Chris kept the necklace in his little hand, turning his face red and tearing his black eyes with tears.

"……Really"

Well, it seems that there was no such sign, or it was not strange. The resort planet was lying together. No, isn't bed-sharing relevant? In any case, for a sensitive girl, a man who protects her and protects her would be perfect. It's easy to cut and discard such a thing like a fever, but I think it's a serious confession with no more courage for him. But.

"Did you say before? You're not going to go out to the noble girl ... oh wait, don't cry, don't cry"

Chris starts spilling tears, so she hastily wipes her tears with her hand. Sorry, I didn't have a handkerchief. Where was the aggressiveness that Mimi slammed before and tried to sneak into my room?

"It may be that of an adult or of Chris as an aristocrat. Balthazar will surely be disposed of in illegitimate terms, and only the Chris will have no trace of the count of Daleinwald anymore."

There may be a way to bring in the right people for adoption from relatives or elsewhere, but I don't know for a while how to do that.

"I don't think Count Daleinwald will admit between Chris and I don't know where the horse's bones are. I don't know if I should, and I don't mean to stop mercenary employment. What? "

If Count Daleinwald were to get along with Chris, it would be like a groom, but would living in a planetary settlement and all-you-can-drink carbonated drinks fulfill their ambitions? ? It's going to be, but it's something different. Maybe I want to do it with my own hands.

"No, isn't it ... I can't say I'll abandon the Daleinwald family?" "No, then Daleinwald will be angry and get rid of me. I don't think I'm going to be with Chris until I abandon her life.

In my words, Chris again began to shed tears. My current word was, in other words, a farewell declaration with Chris. To put it more straightforward, he said he shook. As I said to Chris, I have nothing to do with Chris until I abandon my current mercenary life with Mimi and Elma. If I were to be chased by Count Daleinwald, I would put Mimi and Elma in danger. As a man and as a ship owner, I can't put my two important women and important crews at risk. To put it simply, the life of Mimi, Elma, and Mei is more important to me than Chris's feelings. I'm sorry to Chris. I operated a small information terminal and called Mei into the room. Shortly after, Mei came to the room and gazed at Chris, who was whispering while sitting on the chair, just like me sitting on the chair.

"Sorry, Mei" "No.

May said so and walked away from my room with crying Chris. I wish I managed to comfort myself, but unfortunately I don't have the romance skills to comfort a girl who shakes. It's the worst thing to press on Mei, me.

"Huh ..."

Dive into the bed while leaking a sigh. Let's sleep. Let's do so. I let go of consciousness, being embarrassed by Chris's tears behind her brain and her sobbing voice.
